HOST PLANT. Pyrus spp. , Crataegus spp. , Malus spp. ( Rosaceae ). NOTE. The species has been repeatedly noted in the literature for the territory of Russia ( Zhelochovtsev, 1988 ). Also Gussakovskij (1935) indicated the species for the environs of Maykop, but without detailed label data. In the ZMMU collection we found a specimen of Janus compressus collected near Maykop, identified by D. Dovnar-Zapolskij, which was re-identified as Janus luteipes . We were unable to find any specimens collected in Russia in all studied museums and collections. Besides, in the catalog of the European sawflies ( Taeger et al ., 2006 ), this species was not noted for Russia . However, we believe that this species is rare, but present in the fauna of Russia .
